Pull request overview
This PR addresses CI test failures by fixing thread cleanup issues and Qt compatibility problems. The main fix adds a pytest autouse fixture that automatically cleans up Microcontroller background threads after each test, preventing segfaults. Additionally, the PR updates Qt-related code to work with PySide6 by removing QVariant usage, fixing deprecated QDesktopWidget, and standardizing on qtpy imports.
Key changes:
- Added automatic Microcontroller thread cleanup fixture to prevent test segfaults
- Removed QVariant usage for PySide6 compatibility in Signal definitions
- Migrated from direct PyQt5 imports to qtpy for cross-compatibility
- Replaced deprecated QDesktopWidget with QScreen API

The addition of .pre-commit-config.yaml is not mentioned in the PR description. This appears to be an unrelated change to the stated purpose of fixing CI thread cleanup and Qt compatibility issues. Consider either updating the PR description to document this addition or moving it to a separate PR for better change tracking and code review clarity.

This pull request introduces several improvements and fixes across the codebase, focusing on modernizing Qt imports, improving test reliability, and refining signal usage for wellplate settings. The most notable changes include migrating from PyQt5 to
qtpyfor better compatibility, adding automated cleanup for background threads in tests to prevent segfaults, and updating signal definitions to use native Python types instead ofQVariant.Qt import modernization:
PyQt5imports to useqtpyin files such asNL5Widget.py,laser_auto_focus_controller.py, and test modules, improving compatibility with multiple Qt bindings. [1] [2] [3] [4]Testing reliability and infrastructure:
tests/control/conftest.pyto automatically clean upMicrocontrollerinstances after each test, preventing background threads from causing segfaults in subsequent tests.test_HighContentScreeningGui.pyduring CI runs due to a known PySide6 bug, allowing other tests to run uninterrupted.test_preferences_dialog.pyby mockingQMessageBox.warningto avoid blocking during error handling, ensuring tests remain non-interactive.Signal and data type improvements:
